New Delhi: Budget carrier GoAir on Thursday joined its peer group in upwardly revising its ticket cancellation charges.
The ticket cancellation fee for GoAir flights has been increased to Rs 2,225 from Rs 1,900 earlier, a GoAir spokesperson said.
The new cancellation charges are effective from April 21, the spokesperson said.
The airline, has however, kept its ticket cancellation charges slightly lower than those by IndiGo and SpiceJet, which recently hiked it to Rs 2,250 per ticket.
This is the second round of hikes affected by these carriers as most of the domestic carriers, including IndiGo, had increased the cancellation charges by a significant amount in February this year.
At the time of IndiGo hiking its ticket cancellations charges, apex air passengers' body APAI (Air Passengers Association of India) had warned the airlines of moving to fair trade regulator CCI (Competition Commission of India), alleging cartelisation.
"We are preparing to petition to the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to probe the recent hike in the ticket cancellation charges by the Indian airlines. The way these airlines have announced the increase one-by-one, the pattern definitely suggests an anti-competition practice," APAI president D Sudhakara Reddy had said.
